Ludhiana, April 6

Former MLA and Lok Insaaf Party chief Simrajit Singh Bains has moved a local court for anticipatory bail in a rape case.

Taking note of the bail application, Additional Sessions Judge Rashmi Sharma has summoned the record of the lower court on April 8.

The FIR was registered against him on the orders of Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Harsimranjit Singh in July 2021. The chargesheet was filed in December 2021.

On November 16, 2020, a woman had given an application to the Commissioner of Police, Ludhiana, for registering an FIR against Bains and others. When no FIR was registered, she moved a local court. —

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
